STATES' SUCCESSFUL PRACTICES WEIGH-IN-MOTION HANDBOOK

B McCall, Walter C. Vodrazka

Abstract

The purpose of this Handbook is to provide practical advice for users of weigh-in-motion (WIM) technology, systems, sites, and states' "Successful Practices" using WIM systems. The states selected for each WIM system discussed in this Handbook are: California for bending plate, Missouri for piezoelectric sensors, and Oregon for load cell. The Handbook covers several areas including quality assurance, site maintenance, trouble-shooting, site characteristics, and WIM system description, installation, and calibration. Throughout the Handbook, several "Tricks of the Trade" are highlighted to reinforce some of the successful practices being used.\n
